HDR and a little more
Hi everyone
I am new to this forum so have some patience please. Not sure how much futher this will go but I was interested to read the Wulf's last post and Rolograaf's take on the image. Wulf seemed to like the limited enhancement option and Rolograaf used HDR. To me this cries out for the grunge/saturation look of HDR. The HDR process IMHO helps to add the third dimension to images like this. If I had walked past the shot this is what I would have wanted with post exposure manipulation. After the HDR I added some highlights from the LH side in Photoshop, dulicated the layer, over sharpened the bottom layer and did some straitegic removal of some parts of the top layer to highlight the rust texture from over sharpening. The effect in my opinion emphasises the curves of the bug, adds intrigue about the registration plate that is now seen and bring life to something that isdecaying in the weather. Art is what you make it hopefully some will like it and I am sure other will not.
Cheers.
PS the preview looks a little richer than my screen.
